Welcome

My name is Sybil Archibald and making art is my spiritual path.  My work is the physical record of a journey deep within to the Source of all creativity. 

             Heart Beat
             Only mouths are we. Who sings the distant heart
             which safely exists in the center of all things?
             His giant heartbeat is diverted in us
             into little pulses. And his giant grief
             is, like his giant jubilation, far too
             great for us. And so we tear ourselves away
             from him time after time, remaining only
             mouths. But unexpectedly and secretly
             the giant heartbeat enters our being,
             so that we scream ----,
             and are transformed in being and in countenance.
             - Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926)

You can view my work by clicking on the Gallery link above or any of the links in the right sidebar. I am inspired by the sacred poetry and writings of mystics from the great spiritual traditions. Check here for my suggested mystical reading list. 

Please join me as I explore the spiritual nature of the creative process on my blog Art of the Spirit.

Thanks for stopping by. I wish you many blessings on this day and a deep connection to those you love.

                              

Artist Statement

The roots of creativity are shrouded in mystery. They run deep into an eternal well brimming with the generative nature of the Divine.

The source of creativity is the source of everything. Through sculpture, etching & painting, I seek a pathway deep into that sacred well. I keep kinship with ancient mystics. While they sought God in visions, I seek the Divine in the creative process. This process, captured within a finished piece, resonates with light. Through my art, the human form becomes a nexus, a pivoting point between matter & spirit.

 All things in this world are mirrors which reflect, however imperfectly, the Divine. Every time I create art I polish that mirror within myself and my work.
